For the street I'd go for a crossplane R1 cause it sounds so sweet (even if it roasts you temperature wise). I'd get an exhaust and just sit at red lights doing this.....
Dont take ANY of my advice, EVER, when it comes to riding motorycles.

Re: Gen 4 ZX-10R or S1kRR?
I own a 2003 GSXR 1000. I had the chance to spend a few hours with both a ZX-10R and Ninja 1000. It took about 10 minutes to figure out the Ninja was about as sporty as a Buick. So after an hour on the ZX-10R, it was a stable, solid bike. But geared way too tall for the street and in the end felt not too different then my old K3. No where close to $13,000 in upgrade. Top end, yea that ZX10 had some serious muscle, but as a street bike, I don;t spend a lot of time above 10,000 RPM. Around town, my old GSXR felt just as strong and responsive.

I'm not an expert rider, not even remotely close - but if you put 2 liter bikes in front of me... to me it would be: you have "fucking fast" and "fucking fast" and the rest is semantics. ergos/appearance/country of origin/etc.
If you are at the level where you can really differentiate engine characteristics then why in the world are you asking an internet forum!? go test ride them and pick the one that's "better"!

Because at bike nights he can say he has the fastest liter bike. (allegedly on paper) Even if he will never come close to actually stretch the bike to its limits. Pure, my cock is bigger than yours, bullshit.
Both are great bikes. It's very hard to go wrong with either of them to be honest. +1 on picking what you like the looks of, are most comfortable on, and get the best price on.
